The aura is the electrical field that surrounds every living organism. When an aura is awakened the owner of that aura has the ability to be trained in magic and enhances their senses to a superhuman level.

Short-Circuiting

The usage of too much magic at one point will cause the aura to begin keeping itself sustainable by feeding off the user's own body. When this happens, the person will spontaneously combust until nothing is left of him or her except for a pile of ashes. The amount of magic one uses before such an occurrence depends on how strong the user's aura is.

Colors

Every Aura has a specific colour that varies among users. Most are blended colors, others are a single color, but very rarely, someone gets a pure color aura, such as golden and silver auras. Below is a list﻿ of the colors of auras that are displayed so far:

Rarity

Every color aura is distributed to different living things. The normal, most common shades are those of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. These include every possible shade and tint of the color. After those in this order are grey and white, then silver, then gold, then black as Dagon explains in The Magician. One of the rarest of all though, is surprisingly all the colors combined together in a rainbow-hued aura. This type of aura was only recognized once, belonging to Iris, the rainbow goddess.
Although Perenelle covered her aura up with other colors in The Magician to keep ghosts away, you cannot actually change your aura's color like you can to its smell.

Scent

Each and every aura has a different scent based upon the user's personality. However, the smells have no levelled rarity because anyone can change their aura's scent. For example, Dee did this long ago to match the fragrance of the sulfur-smelling shadowrealmXibalba. Virginia Dare confirmed this in The Enchantress. Black auras are believed to have no scent. Here is a list of the scents that are listed in the Nicholas Flamel series:
